Publication number: 20160142302Abstract: There is provided a load distribution function that enables an application of a user to be freely allocated to a machine even if an address of a terminal or the application used by the user is duplicated between VPNs for each user. An access detector of a machine allocation device detects a start packet from received communication packets, and determines the type of the start packet and the type of the application used by the terminal. A machine allocation manager determines a machine on which the determined application operates, and operates the machine. A network manager configures a user virtual network on a second virtual network between the determined machine and the machine allocation device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2015Publication date: May 19, 2016Inventors: Takashige BABA, Akihiko TAKASE, Kazuma YUMOTO, Tatsuhiko MIYATA

Patent number: 9281995Abstract: There is a need to generate a virtual network across multiple physical networks without the need for users to understand information about the respective physical networks. A network system includes: multiple communication systems for communication with a user; multiple physical network management servers that manage multiple physical networks including multiple routers; and a virtual network management server that manages a virtual network connecting the communication systems with each other through the physical networks. The virtual network management server acquires physical network configuration information. The virtual network management server generates management information in order to manage the physical networks as one abstraction network. The virtual network management server configures the abstraction network by transmitting the generated management information to each of the physical network management servers and the routers.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takashige Baba, Akihiko Takase

Patent number: 9094303Abstract: Interdomain federation, generation or management of a virtual network (slice) that extends among domains can be performed without changing a function of a server or a node of a network domain without a function to manage the other domain. Pseudo node receiving a management message with the same protocol as a general node is added, in interdomain management information from an own domain, the other domain part in management information is received as the management information by the pseudo node (the other domain part is concealed) and when interdomain management information is transmitted to the other domain through the pseudo node by a federation protocol and the pseudo node and the interdomain management information is received from the other domain, the other domain part in the management information is bound as the management information of the pseudo node and transmitted to a management server of own domain.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2012Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Yasusi Kanada, Akihiko Takase, Toshiaki Tarui

Patent number: 7463633Abstract: Upon initialization, a VPC is set up between edge nodes. A control processor of each node creates an IP address/VPC mapping table using IP routing information and an address mapping table mapping correspondence between IP addresses and ATM addresses and supplied by a network management system. A gateway assigns a VCC to each packet input to the network. A sending-side edge node inputs the packet to the VPC corresponding to its destination by referring to the IP address/VPC mapping table. A transit node performs packet switching over VP. A receiving-side edge node transfers each packet to the gateway corresponding to its destination. If a series of packets meet a predetermined condition in a given edge node, its control processor sends VCC information to input interfaces of the edge node so that the packets are switched by an ATM switch in the edge node without intervention of the control processor.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2001Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Noboru Endo, Akihiko Takase, Hajime Abe, Kazuho Miki
